For the squeamish: 25:14 Couple things - 1. This engine was destined for the shredder after rotting in the metal recycler yard for several months for sale. 2. We didn’t buy it, it’s getting recycled even if we didn’t touch it. 3. It’s in the yard for a reason, needed $20k in parts alone for a rebuild and we did tear the engine down to see what’s inside anyway: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNiEYKWSy7eRlZs.html 4. Parts -are- *were* for sale, -see what's still listed here:- we sold everything worth saving from this timeless engine. 5. We still have 4 more Detroit engines in amazing condition, sitting here waiting (STILL after a year later!) for anyone who says they would have bought it.

ive seen them run wide open for 14 to 15 hours with a generator attached , to power hospitals during power outages an never miss a beat.. but with out any cooling they will run for about 30 to 40 min an heat seize .. an that usually cooks the rod bearings ..they will start after cooling down.. but its very dangerous as the parts will fly out of them and you may get hurt ..

Had a straight 6 Detroit runaway in high-school shop classes in the late 80s. It was bolted on the run stand, along with the typical 4 cylinder, V-6, and V-8 gasoline engines of the era, for us to work on and get running. The big ole Detroit hadn't run for years at that point because none of us students knew about, or cared about working on it. So, my buddies and I took it upon ourselves to get it fired up. Our shop tea her said, "Have at 'er, no one has gotten that thing started in the last 20 years..." At 16 years old, we didn't know a whole lot about the big Detroit's, other than that they were a diesel 2-stroke, and had exhaust valves. We filled the tank with diesel, primed up the fuel system, dumped some gasoline down the exhaust pipe, slipped the exhaust hose over the pipe, and let 'er rip...... 😳 Knowing better now, the rack must have been stuck, and the fricker TOOK OFF SCREAMING! Scared the SHIT out of us kids, blew the exhaust hose up off the pipe, left a HUGE black stain on the ceiling, and caught the attention of every student and teacher in that wing of the school as it revved to the moon.(Or sounded like it) Those bastards are LOUD when they're running away inside of a shop classroom!! Our teacher finally caught his witts, and snubbed 'er out by blocking the turbo. The hallways in that wing were filled with people wonderimg what in the hell that sound was.. 😆 My buddies and I were shop class legends for a few months after that episode. I'm guessing that black stain is STILL on the ceiling 30+ years later. I gained ALOT of respect for the big diesels after that, and never fired an old one up again without fully checking the governor and rack first.

I used to drive a Bedford TM artic (semi) in the UK with a 6v71 it ran away 3 times, each time was when I was reversing, twice near docksides 💩, everytime I managed to stall it on the service brake. It would start up again and run for weeks or longer without incident. Early VW Golf 1.6D naturally aspirated engines could suck the sump dry while running away when the got to high mileages, usually setting a speed record in the process.

The fuel system was limiting the RPM, get one running and feed oil straight into the air intake, it will really turn some RPM then. I had the pleasure of tearing down a M-11 Cummins that had a turbo failure. The story I got, the turbo went out, driver "nursed" it back to the shop. The shop replaced the turbo, backed it outside to "blow the oil out the exhaust." The charge air cooler was full of oil, the engine took off! The mechanic tried switching the engine off and removing the fuel filter to no avail. Then they just sat back as it started dropping valves from the overspeed until it was running on one cylinder that finally dropped two valves. So add an unlimited supply of oil to the intake and see what it does.

@SUPRAMIKE18 2 жыл бұрын

My uncle told me a story once about an old heating oil tanker, the company was running the heating oil as the fuel in the truck aswell, stuff was more potent than regular diesel apparently, anyways the truck had worn out piston rings and an oil leak in the turbo, so the fuel oil started leaking down into the crank case and sucked up into the turbo and leaking right into the intake, engine ran away and apperently rolled the tachometer over 3 times before it grenaded (my uncle estimated it did atleast 8,000rpm) not sure the exact engine model but it was a 1990s Paccar

@@fellowship_of_the_goat the injectors limited the fuel at high rpm, feed it more fuel through the intake and it will really run away. On a Detroit, if they get to high of rpm and you pull the emergency shut down, it'll suck the seals out of the blower and feed oil into the intake side, seen it happen, it's like it catches another gear. It'll pull air through then same seals.

Instead of just excessive RPM, heat and bad lubrication under no load.

Didn't frieze, didn't melt, didn't blow, the real power, and limits are yet to be explored on the Detroit Diesel. May its glory be remembered for generations to come. To the one Diesel whom deserves the ability to be self righteous as the proclaimed king of diesel power in the American heart; and may the engineers who designed them be proud and remembered just as long.

The other drivers called them cornbine or bus or trash truck motors, said they leaked oil etc etc, I saw a big block V8 with a blower and a turbocharger feeding the blower! I had to have that setup! It was an 8V92 and had 475 hp !

I had a buddy that worked at a yard where they did this and he said they had to leave them with a cinder block on the gas pedal.

@dieseldemon8562 5 жыл бұрын

These old Detroits are insanely tough, as you’ve shown. EMD locomotives use a similar engine, originally made by GM as well, and they will literally run circles around General Electric’s 7FDL. I’ve never been inside the 16V-71, but if it’s architecture is similar to a 567, 645, or 710, each rod shares a common crank journal, with one being the master (fork) rod and the other being the blade rod. They fit together to form a basket which holds the rod bearing halves. This is likely why both sides of the crankcase were ventilated when either a piston seized and let go of its rod, or the rod bearing seized. When you pull it down, the engine design is pretty cool. Being 2 stroke engines, there is no vacuum within the cylinder to breathe- the engine will not run on atmospheric air pressure alone. The blowers are used to pressurize the air boxes, and when the piston drops to BDC, air is allowed to flow through the inlet ports. The piston begins the exhaust / compression stroke, and the ports are sealed. A set of rings on the bottom of the piston skirt seal against the lower liner, preventing combustion air from entering the crankcase.

Due to the cold every diesel unit we had ran 24/7, they're hard to get running at -40C if shut down when not working. We had to cover the front of the machine up and idle them up to 1100-1200, just to keep them warm enough so they wouldn't start blubbering oil out onto the ground or fill up the skid pan with that black gunk. They truly could run forever as long as they had appropriate fluids and kept near optimum temp. Later on when I worked the drilling rigs I saw quite a lot of them in other applications For example, one drill rig I was on used a similar 16v for draw works power, the same rig also had an 8v71 spinning an old duplex mud pump. Cement units for cementing wells also used them as power units for pumpers. The sound of a jimmy spooling up to operating rpm is one I will not soon forget, as it has left an indelible mark in my life, as well my ears. I'm about half deaf from the experience I've gained from all the jimmies I've had the pleasure and regret of knowing in my life. Seeing this icon traveling to the great beyond and further didn't bother myself in the least. In fact I rather enjoyed seeing her go in such grand fashion. Thanks for the chuckles guys, totally appreciate your content! ............... Peace brothers............Jay

"...they're hard to get running at -40C..." How about at -40F?

@@buckhorncortez Actually -40 C is exactly the same temperature as -40 F That is the only place temps are the same in both scales. Converting temps isn't actually that hard once you start thinking in Celsius. Water freezes at 0 C water boils at 100 C No converting necessary once you think in Celsius eh?

Ever notice how every 53 & 71 series DD came from the factory looking like they'd been dipped in a vat of enamel paint? It's the only way to prevent them from leaking and I'm not joking LMAO.

@@antizakkonic7789 Besides a bit of over spray on a few areas on newer ones I had seen back in the day, they didn't seem overly painted up from my recollection. Too much paint on a seal especially enamel, could make it fail early, as it will harden the seal surfaces making them stiff and inflexible. Seals need to be a bit flexible to do their job in keeping dirt out and oil in. Could the ones you saw perhaps be just rebuilds? Those engines are better known in the industry as a ten gallon overhauls. Slap some new seals in her and paint her up and sell it to the nearest sucker looking for a deal on a rebuilt Jimmy.

Been there, done that. Richard's Island mostly. Most of the Nodwells has GMC V6 gassers or Ford 534s in 1970. They tried Cat and Cummins small v8s, but by 1979 6v-53s ruled.

I worked for a barge company that had a tug with two of those in it. Imagine the noise of two of those at full song with a 4 cylinder 30,000 watt generator in a steel room at the same time.

yeah the EPA got rid of those screamin' jimmys, too bad, they ran good and sounded great

dripped oil from the engine weep pipes and emitted lots of toxins into the atmosphere, great engine for many things, but terrible for the environment.

@@gelynch52phPH That is what they made AirSeps for. If you did then up right, they would put a vacuum on the crankcase. That would cut your leakage down. The AirSep units took the crankcase blowby and ran it into the intake of the blower. Just remember to add two quarts of oil for every 24 hours of use.

If it runs great and reliable, then the EPA is just around the corner to shut it down. But if it’s a complete piece of crap that breaks down constantly, it’s ok for use like new truck engines today. I don’t mean to knock on Cummins but I heard the new X15 is not very dependable. My truck has a 500 ISX15 and it’s a good engine but for the most part but it would be way better without the emissions crap on it. Now the N14 is where it’s at, awesome friggen engine with good pulling power and they sound great too, like music to my ears like a old strait piped V8
